Cisco Goncalves
December 2025 - Cideng District Nap
Original
About the Image(s)
This is one more image about Jakarta and taken on Cideng district, Cideng and Tanah Abang are also favourite places to walk and hopefully capture an interesting story. As I walked by, I saw this gentleman taking a nap, and his position was what it caught my attention. It seemed that he did his shopping early and was probably waiting to be picked up. His job was done, he worked all night, time to go, and while waiting, a rest seemed the right thing to do. Tech stuff: Sony @A1; Sony G-master 24-70mm, set @40mm; f:8, 1/125; ISO 400.

Such a descriptive image Cisco. Mono is the way to go and makes this a very powerful image. You did very well recognising this scene. Posted: 12/18/2025 18:44:11
Cisco,
This photo intrigues me, sparking curiosity about the subject's story. The composition is strong, with the man positioned at key intersection points and the end of a golden spiral. Repeating elements of "2" -sandals, bottles, stools - add visual rhythm. The black and white choice works well, highlighting geometric patterns in the sidewalk and fence. However, I wonder if cropping to a square might enhance focus by removing the large empty space on the right. Still, you may have intended that negative space for a purpose I haven't considered. Overall, it's a compelling and well-processed image.
